lol funny how people who have some sort of ability never demonstrate it under any situation other than the one they create themselves. i mean, how easy would it be to just look at whats in the box if he had this ability? why do they always refuse? why wouldnt they want to prove it rather than personal attacks?

no matter where we humans turn to, there are charlatans in every corner of the world. i just hope no matter what nationality, race or ethnic group, we can all be skeptical of these dickheads who want money, privilege, or power. Just think for a moment if this guy reminds us of anyone…. yep you guessed it. jesus, mohammad, bronnikov, whats the fucking difference

People who are faced with an unsolvable problem are psychologically inclined to search for a solution anyway. Even false hope gives them relief from what would be a crushing realization. Those who grasp at straws, if they have a support group like other students, are likely to filter out information that contradicts the possibilities they imagine. They even disallow the evidence of their own experiences. This is an unconscious process.

Even if you leave the techniques and everything out of it.. That man sits there telling Derren that he already was aware of himself before he was born.
He also really tends to jump on the standard bandwagon of frauds, claiming that he is sientific and Derren is not.

RUB YOUR HANDS TOGETHER AND FEEL THE ENERGY! What, friction? Now use this friction to heal your ailments! I’ve heard a lot in my time as a skeptic but this really takes the piss! Not to mention a lack of understanding of ELEMENTARY science. “We in the Soviet Union will do the science, you in the West carry on with your adverts!”

I’m a molecular oncologist and an advocate with a legal education in two countries. I’d love to be able to put this thief, this con artist, this fraud and his son into prison. I am very upset seeing scum like this prey upon an innocent young boy with CP telling him it is his fault he was born like that and he’s only using 55% of his brain. This guy is only using the lying unconscionable predatory cheater part of his brain. The humanity part is dead. UN supports this? I hope not!!!

This guy says we are not scientists – I beg to differ. I saw zero convincing. All he did was to be aggressive and evasive, classic dodging guilty behavior. Notice how he avoids claims of healing or curing – because if he does that – he can be charged with fraud. Instead, he combines pseudo science with pseudo religion and then says nobody can understand. Well no shit sherlock.

I wonder if the Bronnikov method allows him to project an anti-getting-shot-in-the-heart shield of psychic energy. I think that might be a useful talent for him to develop in light of being nothing more than an exploitative crook.

Rub your hands and feel the ball of energy forming in between them, load of crap, i fail to understand how people can be lead so astray from reality to believe such crap, how one can ignore evidence that is right there in your face, Derren is so patient, i would have put him in his place without warning!
